The Elimination Diet – Day 16

Let me tell you something… I am tired of rice and quinoa flakes and sweet potatoes and avocado. This is hard!

On a positive note, today is Day 16, which means that I moved into “Phase 3.” In Phase 3, I get to eat “nightshade vegetables” (yeah, I had no idea what that was until a few days ago). So for dinner, I had a big salad with wonderful red pepper chunks and diced tomatoes from our CSA. I spiced it up with tamari sauce and fresh ground pepper. It was no vinaigrette, but it was nice. Tomorrow, I’ll make roasted veggies, including potatoes (yay!) for lunch.

On Day 19, I add tree nuts. That will be awesome. I miss my daily dose of walnuts! After that, it’s all beans and soy products (hopefully I find no sensitivities here!), followed by salmon. At that point, I should be close to done with my 28 days and start the challenge phase.
